The Two Made a Man.
.om the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
Erred Gibbs was sergeant major in
the 14Sth New York Infantry, and
one OF his chums was my friend, Hor-
ace Rumsey. OF Seneca Falls, who was
first sergeant in Company A in the
same regiment. Gibbs wound was an
ugly one. The ball tore through his
cheeks aud mouth, and knocked out
his teeth and rendered him speechless.
A little further along the line lay his
friend Rumsey, unable to move, with
bullet wound in his thigh. In GET
ting of the field Gibbs found his old
friend, and in sign language made
known his loss Of speech. Can you
walk? inquired Rumsey. Gibbs nod.
ded his head. Well, said Rumsey, i
can talk, but / can't walk q step. Let
me climb on your back and you walk
and I'll talk. The two of us will just
make a man. Gibbs knelt down and
let his friend climb on his shoulders,
and the pair made their wsy safely to
the rear. The rear guard stopped
them and asked searching questions,
which Rumsey answered vigorously,
while Gibbs stood mute. They were
passed"

He Wouldn't Spoil the Dinner

From the Detroit Free Press.
An old war veteran, who had been
through half dozen campaigns and
was not very particular about what
he ate, was invited out to a swell din
ner party. He sat almost directly
opposite the hostess, and was pain
fully conscious that every move he
made could be observed by her. SUD
denly, at the height of the festivities,
the veteran came across caterpillar
in his salad. A furtive glance at the
hostess disclosed the fact thai she
too had discovered the embarrassing
circumstance. II was critical mo-
ment, but the old soldier was equal
to the occasion. Without changing q
muscle he gathered up the caterpillar
with a forkful OF the salad and swal-
lowed both The look OF gratitude
which he received from his hostess n
few minutes later warmed the very
cookies OF his heart. In due time the
story leaked out and when somebody
asked the old campaigner how he
liked caterpillar salad, the reply came
like a hot shot: "Do you take me for
a man who would spoil adinner party
for little thing like ca terpillarl"

Refused 20 Pay Him.

When they started out to hunt dogs
for the pound a Mexican was en-
ployed somehow to help catch the
brutes and "wagon them." He put in
his account TO the city council, but
that body said he was not authorized
to do such work and refused TO pay
him.

How the suez Canal is Worked.

HOW Tic StcZ Odlti u WOThcNs
From the Saturday review.
"The way in which the canal is work
ed from the Suez Office is, like many
other ingenious devices, exceedingly
simple. IL is ascIibed to the local
head of the administration, M. Chart
rey, who deserves immense credit both
Tor the invention itself and for the way
in which it is applied to the traffic.
Against the wall at one side of the
room is a narrow shelf, or platform,
along which runs groove. At inter-
walls this trough or groove has deep
recesses, and at two places these re-
cesses are OF larger size. This trough
or groove represents the canal. The
recesses are the sidings. The larger in
tervals are the Great Bitter Lake and
Lake Timsah. When vessel has
been signaled and is about to enter
the canal, say at the Suez end, a small
toy boat, or model, three or four
inches long, is chosen to represent her.
A group OF these model ships stands
ready beside the model canal, each
furnished with flag. About forty
have the English flag, ten or q dozen
the French flag, and so on with other
nationalites. AS the steamer comes
up and her name is known, it is writ
ten on paper and placed on the toy
boat. The whole number of ships
thus actually in the canal at any mo-
ment can be seen at q glance; and, as
the telegraphic signals give notice,
the toy boats are moved along,
or placed in siding, or shown ira
versing one OF the lakes at full speed.
Signals are sent from the Office to the
various 'gares, prescribing the siding
at which each ship must stop to let
another ship meet and pass it. The
official who is on duty keeps the mod.
els moving as he receives notice, TAX
ing care, when perhaps two ships 60.
ing in opposite directions are nearing
the same siding, to give timely warn
ing to the pilots in charge by means
OF the signal balls and flags at each
station under his control from the
Office, and to direct which OF the two
is to tie up and which to proceed.
Barring accidents, the whole arrange
ment goes like clock work, the clerk can
read of in moment the name, ton
mage, nationality, draught and actual
situation OF every steamer; he can tell
what pilot she has on board, what is
her breath OF beam, what rate she is
moving at, and everything else which
has to be known about her; and he is
able without an effort to govern her
movements, to prescribe the place
where she is to get under way in the
morning, although he does not see
her, and probably never saw her in
his life.
"The loss OF the Soudan has dimin.
ished the trade OF Suez, and in aslight
degree the traffic OF the canal, which
has also been affected by the state OF
the market in England, and the long
commercial depression. Nevertheless,
there are often as many rs forty
steamers dotted about on different
parts OF NJ. Chartrey's model, and the
fees, payable only in specie, are often
enormous. Some of the large Aus
tralian lines OF the Peninsular and
Oriental or the Orient service pay rs
much as $4,000 IN making q single
transit.

THE man in the moon smiles when
he looks down upon Dallas.
The farmers who produce the cot
ton are in for that factory.
WHEN trials in court houses cease
IN he farces, all mob laws will be re-
pealed.
THE hammer and saw make good
music, but the spindle should be
permitted to sing also.
DALLAS proposes to divide with the
farmer the profits which have hereto
fore gone to the eastern cotton facto-
ries.
You can't tame an anti with bri-
die of ribbon, but you can hold him

terrain the State Teachers Associa-
ton. 1t is an organization of inteli-
gence and dignity and of vast influ-
ence. and is to meet in Dallas this
month.
The HERALD would rather see Sen-
ator Coke put on the U. S. supreme
court TO fl the vacancy than any 9th
r Texan. There is no doubt either,
TINT had Texas influence been center
ed on Senator Coke, President Cleve-
land would have given this state the
honor.
THE Gainesville Il Dallas connect
ing link of the great Santa Fe system
will do just what the HERALD pre-
dictcd last summer-put Dallas as the
principal city and Texas headquarters
on this great lake and gulf line. So it
was with the Missouri Pacific and so
IL will be with the Santa Fe.
CIVIL service rules do not prevail
with our new city administration.
However, we give the Chief of Police
and board credit for honesty ofpur-
pose in what they have done. The
changes may be for the better and If
they pan out that way the HERALD
will be the first paper TO give further
credit.
THE opera tonight for the benefit
of the Confederate Home fund should
draw a very full house. In fact, 1t
should have two or three full houses.
The HERALD hopes that the manage
ment may meet with abundant success,
and find il necessary to hold the
boards here for at least two or three
performances. 1t is a worthy cause.

Past Redemption.

Our amateur dramatic company
achieved fattering success in their
first attempt at rendering this fine
drama, on Tuesday night. The Hall
had been fitted up by the company
in a most creditable manner, and
when the hour for the curtain to rise
arrived the large Hall was packed
with spectators. Kinks Orchestra
supplied the music. The play drag
ged little through the two first acts,
though the opening scene, the corn
huskers, was spirited and lively.
The huskers were perhaps a little too
ambitious in rustling the fodder, but
they were probably little nervous.
The second act closed exceed
ingly clever, and as the curtain fell,
the house gave the performers q
round of hearty applause. The play
grew in interest as it proceeded, and
actors had their parts so we'll COM
mitted that but few promptings were
required.
The concluding farce paddy
Miles the Limerick Boy" was re-
markably we'll acted, Mr.. Wilson
making a capital Irish character.
The audience appeared we'll pleased
with the treat which the company
had taken so much pains to provide
for them.
The evening was one of the foulest
in the matter of weather, adrenching
rain setting in about dusk and contin.
uing through the night. Had the
weather been fair the Hall would not
have contained the crowd and nun
bers would have been unable to OBJ.
tain seats or even standing room.
The company will repeat the play
on Wednesday evening 9Th of June,
greatly improved with new scenery.
If the evening is favorable crowded
Hall is assured.

Decorating the Graves.

Garfield Post No. Is, G.. A R..
with headquarters at Rising Sun,
turned out strongly on Monday last,
Memorial day, to honor the memory
IF the fallen heroes, by strewing
flowers over their graves. The major
ity of the members of the Post assem-.
bled at their Hall in Rising Sun and
by one o'clock were ready to proceed
to the cemetery at B. M. Hou Sc
where the ceremonies are held. When
they arrived at the ground the grove
was filled with carriages, and quite a
crowd of men, women and children
had assembled to witness the cere-
monies among whom a sprinkling of
blue uniforms of Grand Army men
we're mingled. Immediately after
the arrival of the comrades" from
Rising Sun, the Commander of the
Post, DIR. Kirk, gave orders to "fall
in" and the veterans numbering 25
to 80 marched in line to the grave of
their late comrade, Samuel H.
Matthews, whose sad death was caus-
ed last summer at Lock Haven where
he was struck and killed by pass
ing train Of cars. Here a touching
incident occurred. The widow of
the late comrade over whose grave
the Post had arranged to hold the
beautiful Memorial day services had
preceded the company, and in a
paroxysm of grief was weeping over
the grave of her husband.
The Commander opened the SER
vices by reading the "Duty of the
day. etc. The choir which was in
charge of comrade G. W. Wilson,
sang an appropriate hymn, accom-
panied by Mr.. Janney on the cornet.
G. W. Wilson, W. G.. Crowell, Miss
Lottie Wills on, A. Lewis Pugh, Mrs.
Alice Pugh and Miss McHenry COM
posed the choir and added much to
the beautiful and impressive service.
The singers all had fine voices. Mr.
Crowell is the fortunate possessor of
a superior tenor voice.
After the chio-, Chaplain of the
Post. Mr.. J. W. Mccullough, of
Colora, read the prayer, followed by
the address of the Commander. AT
the close of the address the officer of
the day, Comlade Saml. P. Ryan
strewed the grave with flowers in the
midst of which small flag was
placed. Several of the graves had
last years flags, faded and weather
beaten standing over them.
After the ceremonies each grave
was visited in succession, there being
sixteen graves of soldiers in these
burying grounds, the comrades
forming round the grave which wa:
then by the officer of the day
decorated with flag and flowers.
